Past games had spores. This game has spores.
This game has spores, I have no clue... :D
This one is a doozy.
Spoiler
Luckily snipers are available.
MG -
You've done it again.
The only thing lower than the Rating (1), is the scores (0).
LOL!
I'm going to save this until tomorrow morning and give it a run.
Thanks,
H
I cleared all the enemies but the end game condition didn't trigger. What am I missing?
Take a look at the mapmaker's name...
i don't get it... lol
spoiler
I feel your pain...
unresolved problems can trigger a dissociative disorder
:P
Still working on the right combination to survive past the second wave.
Can probably skip my cardio workout today, I've already been at my target heart rate for the past 20 minutes.
Thanks Martin, you've made the day interesting.
H
I'm very glad that you guys bother to play my maps! Many thanks

See screenshot for the final step needed to trigger the end game condition.

I am guessing a mass artefact by that fallout?
Guys, we really need to talk about Martin. He's clearly unwell and needs help ??? :o ;)
Oh no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no!

Right back at ya!! ;D
Haha
Pot...Kettle.
(I'm currently beating on "Groot", but will be back to work on the start here soonest.)
I am literally heartbroken over this today....
Man, I can't even figure out how to get this started! I read the earlier spoiler about
Spoiler
using the snipers to uncover the power zones
but still get wrecked in the first wave no matter what I do!
if you don't like the spores, make sure you don't provoke them ;)
there are many units in this game that don't make the spores come....

Best clue of the day.
That finally turned the trick for me and I was able to play through.
Had it on 4X speed though, and forgot to slow it down.
Trying to decide if I should 'Rate' this map.
Right now it has a perfect 1 score from 11 players and I really hate to mess up perfection.
That might be a CW3 record that would enshrine MG as - truly - #1!
Thanks for a whole day full of fun.

hey dude!
Spoiler
if you build enough beams to fill all spore towers i meant all PZ's..... , then save, you can restart easier.
DO NOT build anything apart from the sniper and the beams, then once the beams are all in PZ's you can place a collector grid and a forge, then fill the space on the lower island with reactors (leaving room for a few blasters to get a foothold on the creeper area)
hope that helps! 8)

@wolfgoesmoo
This picture should help you get started.

Thanks! Martin's hint got me started on this approach. I can't quite get a toehold on the main north section, but I'm sure it's just a matter of persistence.

It's just a matter of berthas!

Ha, I wasn't even paying attention. I did it without any Berthas.
WOW
How?
Using the two convert artifacts the berthas are un-necessary (although they are helpful!)
Yeah, forgot those
Is it just me or is This map Really Low Effort ?
Depends on what you mean by that?

just you... ;) ;D ;D ;D
this map is pretty high effort, if you want to see some examples of low effort maps hang around CS and some will crop up... then we report them as insta-win or achievement maps and they are deleted.
we also have a policy of being nice and friendly in these fora to each other, and especially to the few people who make a lot of the maps still being posted... and we prefer using
constructive criticisms rather than drive by passive aggressive comments.
please bear this friendly advice in mind for your future interactions with the people here!
cheers! 8)

Although It's probably longer than that

Yeah...CS is filled with doodle maps
And I found this map with a lot of Dloads and Scores, So I got curious why
I usually take around 2 or 3 hours with my Maps
Because I don't like to find someone saying "bad map"
or "low effort map"
I try to make 'em as good as I can while not taking way too much time with 'em
But for this map I don't really know why it is high effort
It looks just like another Doodle map
Sorry If I sound rude to Martin Gronsdal, But I don't really like to find CS filled with Doodles
It may be just me, As it's just my opinion
And thanks for the advice teknotiss, I really appreciate it (:
Quote from: Martin Gronsdal on April 04, 2022, 04:25:22 PM
WOW
How?
It's been a few days but as I recall, I had packet speed maxed really high and basically burrowed my way through the creeper on the right side to start taking out the spore towers. The spores would wreck my relays but I just kept pausing and rebuilding. Once I cracked some spore twoers it got a lot easier.
My final setup looked like this:

Have you actually tried playing this level? Most people without a deep knowledge of CW3 will find it difficult to complete.
Martin's maps may look minimal, but they are very precisely crafted, and often take a lot of (enjoyable!) hours to beat.
It gets to a point where one has to ask - what community do we want here? :-X

Many thanks for kind comments, Weasee. You seem to weasel your way into any map I make 😉

Yeah, Some of his maps look silly but in reality are Deep and challenging
But for this one, Why and how is it 1.[ number ] Rating ?
I don't really know why does some maps have Bad ratings even though they're well done, And have some time spent on them
CS Sure is a strange place.......
The rating issue is very simple, most players are not very advanced and rate any difficult map low. Map makers are generally expierienced players and make challenging maps and so get low ratings. If you can ignore ratings and just make maps for yourself and for the pure pleasure of doing so. Some will like them, some wont, that's life!
